My dog Lady the magnificient

My dog has to go back to the vet around June 7th for another check up. The vet decreased her thyroid pill intake. At night she only gets 1/2 of a pill. I took her for a walk this evening and she wanted to run around the block.

I think I will check out a book on html so I can learn to add more stuff to my blog.

Flamingos, Dolphins and Panthers, Oh My!

Not much time to do the adventure part. I liked Puzzle Player. I played deal or no deal. Flipper says hi. I want to add sound to Flipper. If I can figure out out to import a wav file or maybe an html link in my post that says click here and when you click Flipper speaks.

shelfari and html and my doggy

I dont know what happened to my post. I thougt i published it and then discovered I saved it as a draft but when I called it up and hit the publish button it was empty.

I have an account with Shelfari but I cannot figure how to post it to my blog. I keep getting an error message-- tag is broken
My boss has shelfari linked to her blog. Maybe she will pity me and give me a clue on how to add this to my blog. I'm sure that I'm missing something very simple.

My favorite web 2.0 technology-- It is a toss up between blogging and creating an avatar.

My doggy is staying with me this week because my sister is at a conference. She is still losing weight. I found a few gray hairs under my dog's chin but that is okay since she is over 60 in people years.

funny cat video

I still have not figured out how to add a video clip to my blog.

You Tube second try

I placed this link in the url box for links- maybe this will make a difference.

you tube-make it happen

How can I post a you tube video clip showing funny cats or funny dogs?





If you click on the empty box in this post-- actually it has a small x in the corner of it-- you will see the funny cat video. Then you have the option of watching other funny cat videos. This is still not what I wanted to do. I want a small picture of the video above the title of my post and when you click on the video you see just the one cat video with an option to view it again

My perfect doggy

My dog lost 8.8 pounds. She now has to lose 21.2 more pounds. She is looking mush slimmer and she is even running. Oops something happened to my dog picture. I saw a message that said image was stolen. I tried to remove it from my post.

avatar update and my dog Lady

I went back and put in a background for my profile avatar. I also added some animation to her and a cute little doggy with a pink bow in her hair. I want to learn how to make the avatar speak. I want to add audio to her.
Can an avatar be added to each post?

Some thoughts on how to use the avatar concept with patrons--
Have an avatar librarian link that has an animated voice-- The librarian would perhaps talk about "know your business" or maybe just recommend a good murder mystery to read. She could explain how to request and item for home delivery??

Avatars and RSS feeds-- how to put these two concepts together in a library setting??

My dog goes to the vet today at 2pm. I hope she gets a good report. If she gets a good report and has lost weight I think I should buy her a new toy.

week 5 avatar update

Nicole Cavallero helped me cut and paste the url. It was a little tricky because you had to delete some of the address. Who would know this except for webpage designers.

avatar--week 5 second post

I made an avatar but I can't figure out how to export it to my blog.

Week 5 of OCLS Learn 2.0 and update on my doggy

I figured out how to add pictures to an old post.Now I have to learn how to create an avatar.

My dog will go to the vet this week. My sister will take her on Thursday. I hope she has lost weight. I have walked her everyday and only fed her dog food.

OCLS Learn 2.0 week 4 and update on my doggy, Lady

This week was a little different. I did not have to register for anything unless I wanted to.

The three award winning websites that I viewed are as follows:

1- Social Networking- Facebook.com

I chose this site because one of the survivors from the Virginia Tech shooting used facebook to let his friends know that he was alive and okay.

2) Blog Guides

Technorati and Blogniscient-- I may use Blogniscient at a later date. This one seemed more user friendly to me.

3) Social Tagging--- Blink List

I wonder how this lesson today will be used in my position at OCLS.

Of all of the lessons so far the signing up for a blog was the best. This has been the most fun of all of the assignments. I have to work on the desk soon so here is the update on my doggy.

Lady has been walking everyday and she is even running just a little bit. She does look a lot thinner and she has only sneaked a drop or two of people food in the past week. This picture is obviously not my doggy but still a very cute puppy. I still have not figured out how to add a picture to my old posts.

Picture of labrador retriever puppy--Lady

Although this is not an exact picture of my doggy, it is probably what she looked like when she was small. I walked my doggy 1/2 mile on Friday evening 5/4/07. When I go home tonight I will try to walk her more than 1/2 mile. I am off on Sunday so I will definitely walk her 2 miles.

Thank you Tom, for posting how to add pictures to a post. Is there a way to go back to my old posts and add different pictures of various Labrador Retrievers to each post? Does anyone know how to do this?

Rss Feeds and my dog lady

This completes the third week of my OCLS Learn 2.0 class. I have created 6 RSS Feeds including one from our library webpage.

Now for the update on my doggie, Lady. Yesterday on May 2, 2007 I walked my doggie 3 times, 1/2 mile each time. Later in the evening I discovered that she spit out her thyroid pill, so had to give her two pills. She is looking much slimmer and she seems more active.

I may not have mentioned this in my previous blogs. My dog is solid black with a white cross on her chest. She does have a few gray hairs. Since she is also part Rhodesian Ridgeback she has a couple of small ridges on her back.
